How Long
Jordan Feliz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already down, but the hits keep comin'
I reach out; will You reach back at me?
I fall down; will You come and catch me?
Is there an end to the line I'm walkin' on?
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh
I never really trusted 'til I trusted You (yeah)
I never saw the truth until I saw what's true ('til I saw You)
I reach out and You reach back at me
I fall down and You're right there to catch me
There's no end to the line I'm walkin' on, ohh
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh
We are souls beyond the grave, keepin' light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on
We are souls beyond the grave, keepin' light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
The song "How Long" by Jordan Feliz is a plea for endurance in the face of adversity, specifically the emotional toll that life's challenges can take on a person. The opening lines set the scene for the emotions explored in the rest of the song, with the singer admitting that he has days when he just wants to run from the hits that keep coming. He asks God for help and reassurance, wondering if God will always be there to catch him when he falls. The chorus asks how long God will stand by his side, whether it is a distance he can't measure or until the very end of everything.
The second verse of the song highlights the idea that the singer only truly began to understand the world around him and to trust others when he found faith in God. The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope, stating that people’s souls go beyond the grave and that they keep a light that never fades. The outro repeats the same question about how long God will be present with the singer before a haunting series of “ohs” brings the song to a close.
Overall, the song is about resilience and hope in the face of a difficult journey. It highlights the human need for support and the belief that some forces are beyond our control, as well as the faith to believe that those forces will support us in times of need.

...So close
So so close...
Keep hearing that song play in my heart n mind🔥🎵🔥
The Lord is so very close 🙌🏻💪🙌🏻❤️🔥
What beautiful words
A love song ❤️🔥🎵❤️🔥
to The Lord in my heart and mind
Read it
Breathe it in
Sudden Strength
So Close
The great winds blew
And the rocks tore loose
But I couldn't find You anywhere
And the earthquake came
And the fire raged
But I couldn't find You anywhere
Then with a whisper, You came
Gently reminding me
To never be afraid
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
When it feels like my world's caving in
Oh, God, I need You so close, so, so close
You can turn this cave to a holy place
You won't let a tear here hit the ground
You're the God who stays
'Til the morning breaks
And all of my fears come crashing down (ohh)
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
My ever-present, never-failing friend
I can feel You so close, so, so close
You're the end of all anxiety
The safest place for the suffering
Remind me once again that You're enough
Speak into these empty lives
Revert my heart, renew my mind
Remind me once again that I'm enough
And I won't waste another breath
On fear of man or fear of death
Even when I second guess Your love
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
I fall into Your loving arms again
I can feel You so close, so, so close
Heaven's closer than it's ever been
I can feel You so close, so, so close
My ever-present, never-failing friend
I can feel You so close, so, so close
So close, so, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close
Every time I call You come
You come running, running
Every time I call You come
So, so close

Isaiah 10
Lord let us not be self made
Let us not us up and steal or meddle to build up ourselves
Let us turn to You and give You Glory for our success and for others along side of us.
Keep the selfish and conniving ones out or change their heart.
In Jesus name amen 🙏🔥🙏❤️🔥
The Battle Is Yours
💪🎉🎵🎉💪
https://youtu.be/uasrrkzLQ0A
When it looks like I’m surrounded by the enemy
And it feels like hope is far beyond my reach
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, always Yours
When the seas agree that they should rage against me
And the storm it pours its wrath upon my head
There’s a name that’s sure to save, it’s never failing
Jesus my salvation, and my shield
All we have to do is start singing
All we have to do is start praising Your name
And the enemy runs away
All we have to do is start singing
All we have to do is start praising Your name
And the enemy runs away
I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle
The battle is Yours, always Yours
All we have to do is start singing
All we have to do is start praising Your name
And the enemy runs away
This is how I fight my battles
💪🔥🙏❤️🔥🙌🏻🎉

Restraining
Refrain
Anger is toxic
Stop 🛑
Go to God and ask to be healed from that hateful destruction
Dont excuse your actions of anger because you have no self control and are in selfish pride
God has His eyes open wide
He sees all things
Lord help people who lash out in anger and May we all be filled with Your Perspective as You know the heart of each one of us!!
Hallelujah Amen 🙏🔥🙏❤️🔥🥰😘
Yesterday we got a text and email about a 2nd grade student at Pioneer having a list of names with kill on it...
I told my husband that what is going on reminds me of the cheap ole end times movies we have watched
Where the evil enters into peoples and they start killing each other
It is so scary and sad that we have lost respect for each other and it is showing in our children
We need to get back to the basics
Consciousness of the value of loving1another and having forgiveness and being kinder
🙏❤️🔥🥰
Lord please help Your people 🙏❤️🔥
Help me be a beacon of Your Love and Light and Truth and Humility
I Love You Lord
Help our children and our children's children 🙏😭🙏😭🙏😭❤️🩹❤️🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥Jesus Come🔥🔥🔥
How Long 🙌🏻🎉❤️🔥🎵❤️🔥🎉🙌🏻

Interesting. This song could have nothing to do with God. How can you tell. He sings on the fence, friend. He’s a sell out to filthy lucre.
